For example, abusing a Muslim is said to have 10 points, pulling a Muslim women’s hijab is worth 25 points, throwing acid is marked 50 points while burning or bombing a mosque is a whole 1,000 points.The Muslim population living in London believes that this is a part of a larger campaign of hate against the Muslim community.According to authorities, at least six communities around the United Kingdom have received the letters, which are being investigated by the country’s counterterrorism forces.In a Facebook post, Naz Shah, a member of UK Parliament, wrote that members of her community are very distressed. “I would appeal to the wider community to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the police,” she wrote.

The hate and fear in UK is not new and has been growing for years now, but recently it has reached new heights of provocation that needs to be addressed diligently, carefully, quickly and in the best manner possible. Authorities need to act immediately to discourse maximum efforts and tirelessly engage themselves to calm this notion.
